One politician let his feelings be known after the wild ending of the Seattle Seahawks' 14-12 victory over the Green Bay Packers on Monday night.
Wisconsin State Senator Jon Erpenbach tweeted NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell's office phone number after the replacement officials mishandled the final play of the game. Seattle's Golden Tate pushed one Green Bay defender out of the way then wrestled another for the ball and was awarded a disputed touchdown on the final play.
Erpenbach said in a separate tweet that if Monday night's ending did not spark an end to the lockout of the regular officials ''this season will be a joke.''

Lol. I swear, I fell out when I read this. I know it’s not proper journalistic etiquette to start an article off laughing. Sorry. Where was I?
The Seattle Times is reporting that Golden Tate has chosen to come clean. He admits to grotesquely pushing off in the Seattle Seahawks‘ controversial victory over the Green Bay Packers on Monday night.
“I’m not going to...

Even though I didn’t post it here (I went to bed early, screw me), it should be terribly obvious by now that the replacement refs totally screwed up last night’s game between the Packers and Seahawks. I’m not gonna explain what happened because you should know what happened by now, but here’s a link if you need reference.
Anyway, the blown call caused serious outrage, including...

There are a lot of things we could talk about in the NFC West this week. San Francisco lost to the Vikings and Arizona dominated the Philadelphia Eagles. In a regular week, these would be some of the top headlines.Week 3, however, was not a regular week. One play of the Seattle Seahawks game against the Green Bay Packers has stolen the spotlight from the other three teams in the...
A Wisconsin politician Tweets commissioner Roger Goodell's phone number, saying this season will be a "joke" if a deal isn't struck with the real referees. Meanwhile, the Packers aren't the only ones ripping the league and the replacement refs 140 characters at a time.

The pundits will start the conversation on the controversial end to tonights Seahawks vs. Packers game in the morning but we can start it right now. The books will show that Russell Wilson made a Hail Mary pass to Golden Tate to win the game. The film will show Golden Tate's offensive interference and, subsequently, M.D. Jenning's interception of Wilson's pass.

You’ve seen the video by now. I won’t pretend that there’s anyone out there who hasn’t. Green Bay Packers defensive back M.D. “20/20” Jennings clearly intercepted Russell Wilson’s hail mary pass as the clock expired in last night’s Monday Night Football game against the Seattle Seahawks. Even my brother, a diehard Seahawks fan, texted me as the world was going nuts...

After an atrocious week of officiating I speak for everyone when I say, “The time to get rid of the replacement officials is now!” I literally saw messed up calls in every single game this week, some worse than others. I saw wrong spots on penalties, a hospitalized player on a helmet to helmet with no flag, not reviewing replay properly on a challenge, wrong calls and the list...

First and foremost, I am Pittsburgh Steelers’ fan. That also makes me a football fan. I have played and watched and coached a lot of football in my many years on this rock so while that doesn’t necessarily make me an expert, I do feel a certain amount of expertise. I feel, therefore, it’s my duty to break down this play in the only way I can and that means as sarcastically...

It was fourth and last chance, throw it up, and pray. I had all but turned the television off, exasperated at another chance for Seattle to make a statement on a national stage.I watched helplessly as Russell Wilson scrambled right, perform the five d's of dodge ball, dodge, duck, dip, dive, dodge, and throw a bomb to the back left corner of the end zone.Who would have known...

NEW YORK (AP) -- The NFL and the referees' union have reached a tentative contract agreement, ending an impasse that began in June when the league locked out the officials and used replacements instead.
The NFL said it planned to have regular refs work Thursday night's Cleveland-Baltimore game.
With Commissioner Roger Goodell at the table, the sides concluded two days of...

A night that was supposed to go down in history as one of the greatest regular season finshes ever has been clouded in drama and controversy. Everywhere you turned on Tuesday morning was a debate over the final play of last night’s thrilling victory (or is it, say the so-called experts) over Green Bay. It was inescapable; even non-sports fans didn’t hear the end of it. And there...

The "Monday Night Mugging." Like all notoriously controversial plays, this play needs a nickname. So it won't be forgotten. So it goes down as a black mark, as an asterisk, in the annals of NFL history.
In fact, if the NFL has any integrity, they should retroactively change the result of the Packers-Seahawks game tonight. The job of the NFL is to ensure the...

If you are reading this then there is a 100% chance that you know about the BS call the replacement refs made in the Green Bay Packers vs Seattle Seahawks Monday Night Football game. Every part of the play from the non-pass interference call to the interception that somehow turned into a Golden Tate touchdown was complete garbage (though I had the Seahawks +3.5 so I can live with...
